42PFL6007H/12 Skype SOund not sent to HTS

[sejtam]

I bought a 42PFL6007H/12 TV and a Philips Home theatre system.

I realized to day that the Skype sound coming from the other side can only be heard through tha (rather puny) TV speakers, but not through the HTS.

I tried the Optical cable connection from the TV to the HTS (which works for everything else afaics) and w/o that (HDMI ARC)

Is this a system issue or do I need to tweak some setting?

Hi,

I think, this is a feature (Skype sound only from TV speakers).

How can that be a feature? With a roomful of folks, trying to skype makes the other side almost unhearable even at volume 60. My HTS is able to provide more power, so why can't use that for sound with skype?

Why would that be a feature?
At least the option shlould be there (as should one to send the skype sound to headphones, to eliminate audio feedback loops.
